production. Typical surface treatment processes are cleaning, etching, sterilisation,
chemical activation and coating deposition. The purpose of coating deposition may be
to control adhesion and release properties, minimise corrosion, reduce friction and
wear, act as a diffusion barrier, provide thermal or electrical insulation, enhance
biocompatibility, control optical properties or simply improve the aesthetic appearance
for the surface. Papers are invited on developments and applications of innovative
solvent free surface treatments using low, intermediate or atmospheric pressure
processing technologies. Special attention will go out to plasma assisted chemical
vapour deposition processes.
Theme 5: Controlling friction and preventing wear in industrial processing
All aspects of tribology are welcomed including experimental, modeling and theoretical
work, as well as case studies. Papers dealing with practical problems and their
solutions with respect to wear prevention and frictional effects on functionality and
power gain of machines are especially welcome to promote the effective transfer of
research results into industrial practice.
Theme 6:Looking at materials at the nano scale
The development of nanomaterials for various fields of applications triggers the need
for different characterization techniques able to investigate extremely small volumes
and with high spatial resolution. Tools designed for surface analysis, scanning probe
techniques, AES, TOF-SIMS and electron beams are only a few examples of possible
characterization techniques. Papers, describing useful characterization techniques of
nanostructured materials are welcomed.

Smart and Sustainable Electricity Systems
Theme 1: Distributed and Renewable Generation and the Impact on the
Electricity System
Papers are solicited on 1) developments and prospects for individual distributed
and/or renewable generation (solar, wind, domestic CHP) and 2) the resulting
challenges for the future electricity system (infrastructure and markets)
Theme 2: Distributed Control and Demand Side Integration
Papers are solicited on experiences and/or studies with 1) novel approaches and ICTtechnology
for distributed control in smart electricity systems, 2) demand side
integration programs and technology.
